Jerry Jones wants to see Martellus Bennett become more consistent in approach

On Sunday tight end Martellus Bennett had some interesting things to say about his role in the Cowboys offense basically saying with more opportunity he would produce more.

He also said he had a long meeting with owner and general manager Jerry Jones. At the end of the season, Jones said it was time for Bennett to mature as a player. Some of his actions this off-season on various social media outlets have frustrated some fans.

Jones would not get into the discussion he had with Bennett, but he is still preaching the maturity theme.

“When you evaluate a player both from a standpoint of skill or a standpoint of the other intangibles when you see him do it, then you know he can do it. We’ve seen Martellus do everything that it takes to be an All-Pro football player. We’ve seen that happen. Now just like any real accomplished player, athlete, boxer or whatever, he’s got to make it part of his every day makeup. If he does, he’ll be a great player for the Cowboys.”
